.... or in other words: justice was a compromise. I will attempt to provide a deeper understanding of this dilemma. (Justice is harmony) One would tend to believe that peace, and good will among all individuals in a community would be the main ingredients necessary to encompass harmony, yet although at first a simple concept to conceive, the ultimate goal of achieving harmony (justice according to Plato) requires many different factors. These factors (or pillars) upon which justice in Plato is constructed include but are not limited to education, interdependence of a communities sub-units, philosophy, the separation of public and private life, truth, as wel .....

.... actions often influence women both negatively and positively. These writers also show the effects of a mother’s lesson on a daughter, while following women’s paths to discovery of their own voice or identity. In Kincaid’s poem, Girl; Hong Kingston’s novel, Woman Warrior; and Davenport’s short story, The Lipstick Tree, various themes are presented in contrasting views and contexts, including the influence of mothers upon daughters. It is said that a girl can often develop some of her mother’s characteristics. Although, in their works, Kincaid, Hong Kingston and Davenport depict their protagonists searching for their own .....

.... In many ways, Iago can compare with Satan. Iago, like Satan, has proved himself to be a master at deception. He lies to everyone taking great care to disguise his own thoughts. For example, in Act 1, scene 2, when he is speaking to Othello about his feelings toward Cassio, he uses very strong language of a manly soldier, while at the same time, he lies throughout the whole speech faking loyalty to a fellow soldier and all the while implying that he is reluctantly holding back the full truth: "I had rather have this tongue cut from my mouth/ Than it should do offense to Michael Cassio" (I.ii.21-22). This deception impresses and convinces Othello that his .....

.... the raw throb of existence". It was a journey that would have been a complete waste if it weren't for Jon Krakauer's book entitled Into the Wild. A lot of people believe that McCandless was an idiot. He was "simply one more dreamy half-caulked greenhorn who went into the country expecting to find answers to all his problems and instead found only mosquitoes and a lonely death". Some people blamed Krakauer, in the magazine article that preceded the book, for glorifying "a foolish, pointless death". But the beauty of Krakauer's writing is that he doesn't glorify Chris McCandless' life or even try to hide his personal weaknesses. Instead, that which becomes ev .....

.... the fork in the road and chose to take the road less traveled "and that has made all the difference." The use of life as a journey is nothing new to literature, but with Plato and Frost both show that this journey is not easy and there are many choices along the way that we must make that will determine the quality of the life we will lead. The main factor that drew me to the Parable of the Cave was the way it described our journey through life. It begins by telling us that the reality we initially see when we are chained down in the cave is nothing more than an illusion. This is true in my own life in that I was told by my parents what was right and wh .....

.... a persuasive dissertation with biblical quotes and passages; however, not all the quotes sited by Edwards support his interpretations exclusively. Often Edwards uses parts or sections of biblical verse rather than complete text because too much information might diminish the importance of his primary intent. These instances of manipulation occur in the doctrinal section where Edwards attempts to prove the basis of his application. "Cut it down, why cumbereth it in the ground?", Luke 13:7, is used by Edwards to illustrate God's justifiably immediate destruction of those guilty of sin. Absent from his selection is any mention of the moderation and patie .....

.... started on your assignments, then your study habits could probably use some improvement. To study or do homework while watching television or talking on the phone are some bad examples of proper studying. Some people get tense or nervous about their performance in school and feel that they cannot get anything accomplished. This is an example of improper motivation. You also have to be motivated to improve your study habits. Once you make the decision that you want to improve your studying habits, you must begin to develop the study habits of a successful student. A regular study routine can actually help you to study. Take every opportunity to put yourself to .....

.... biblical symbolism found in this poem mainly reflects the apocalypse, as it deals with the Mariner's revelation that good will triumph over evil, and his acceptance of all nature as God's creation. It is impossible to believe that Coleridge was not thinking of the mysterious wind that blows on the Mariner, without any awareness of the wind as a Biblical symbol of the Holy Spirit. Coleridge could also not associate the murder of the albatross with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The reader is told that the Polar Spirit "loved the bird that loved the man who shot him with his bow." It is doubtful that someone with Coleridge’s Christian background and .....
